Completed the installation of 26 pound ballast on the nose gear support struts and 23 pounds ballast on the right side engine mount, clamped in place with AN4 bolts. Total ballast is 49 pounds. Weights are painted red. No changes were made to the engine mount or nose gear support struts. The 2180 VW had already been moved 2-inches forward from KR-2 plans call-out and flown. https://s3.amazonaws.com/expercraft/sidwood/30127830554d4d2790ba9.jpg https://s3.amazonaws.com/expercraft/sidwood/1839866186554d4dbd2a315.jpg Will do weight & balance next week. My goal is to have cg at 9 inches with me and half fuel on board. Last flight in August 2014 same loading with cg at 12 inches was definitely unsatisfactory!
